one package of apple and cinnamon oat meal, two scoops of vanilla protein powder and 1 teaspoon of natural peanut butter with flax seed. Really fills you up

Dr. Soong also did my lap band surgery in December 2009. No complications and has a great staff. If you have any questions or concerns let me know. Will be happy to talk to you anytime

I have it and I found it very helpful. Very good tips and great receipes

The only thing that goes down is cookies, cake and ice cream? If you can get that down why not protein shakes, soup, eggs, yogurt? You said I guess you were not meant to be thin, however having a defeating attitude and not eating the right things, is not helping. However it is not too late to get back on track.

You got my vote, good luck and let us know

I put benefiber in my water and I get the benefits of both. Also I add chopped nuts to my yogurt and that really helps

Great idea and I never thought of it. I love the eternity band to celebrate the band. I will treat myself to a complete spa day.

Welcome!! How long ago were you banded? It might be too soon for steak. However the feelings you describe are exactly what stuck feels like. Just stay on soft solids for a few days and you should feel fine.:sad:

:thumbup:Congratulations!!! We have some great resources within the group and we are here for support. When is the date? Just remember it is not a magic band, it is just a tool to help you to obtain your goal weight and maintain it. Keep us informed as to our progress.

I have lost 30 lbs in 2 months. My joints are much better, i am exercising on the treadmill and the stationery bike @ the gym

I was banded on 12/29/09 at age 59. I also know of somebody that was banded at age 72!!! I had diabetes, high blood pressure, knee surgery. I am now off my diabetes medicine. Never limit yourself to being able to enjoy your life no matter what your age. :wink2:

Congratulations from one banded Las Vegan to another. I was banded on 12/29/09

I would love to join. always up for a challenge

Banded on 12/29/09 and am ready for a challenge :biggrin:

Had my 1st fill on Monday on my lunch hour and went right back to work. You can drive yourself home with no problem. It is just like getting a injection or getting a blood test. Tiny needle and fluid injected into the port.
